add option to tile XXX_DATA to argo.addcol()

[SpheMakh]

As requested by @o-smirnov:
The xxx_DATA columns can be "tiled" for performance reasons. I don't know if there's a way to create a tiled column from pyrap, at least there wasn't one at the time, so I wrote the addtiedmscol utility (in C++) to do this. You might want to integrate that into addcol() somehow.

Come to think of it, doesn't the add column functionality belong in ms.py?

Yep, it does. I will move it there when I fix this issue. But maybe I should keep a mapping to the function in argo.py, else stuff that uses it will break.
